New Zealand - 2004-11-22 - Nelson - Mountain Bike Trip
The first stop on the Stray Bus pass is the town of Nelson. I stayed one
night so that I could do the mountain biking trails around Nelson. I rented
a bike (from Natural High) & started on the trail. The bike is one of
the worst I ever rode, it basically only worked in 2nd gear, the chain
came off the track all the time & halfway into the trip the chain broke.
If ended up causing me to hurt my leg & have to walk the last half of
the track. I believe I paid $25 for the rental so I was pretty upset with
the company when they would not give me a refund of any amount. If you
are ever in Picton find somewhere else to go for your adventure sport
needs!! Either way the scenery was beautiful, I have a story to tell &
I barely made it back in time for my bus :) I also got my first picture
of sheep in New Zealand's South Island, although you see them everywhere.
